Want free cementing paste? Tame a snail.... yeah... that makes sense
Achatina
The Achatina is a massive snail, mostly used for its production of Cementing Paste, or as a pet. This creature produces its paste passively — and quite frequently — so many survivors keep them around their bases. However, its usefulness pretty much ends there, as it cannot attack and moves quite slow. The Achatina must be tamed violently.
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Achatina in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They can breed now in ASA !
If you set multiple on wandering in a small spot, they’ll pop babies !
You can absolutely abuse this things, this things can be used to dupe Polymer...
Get the polymer out of this things, put it on a storage Unit you have, manually save the game, then enter the game again, then check this things inventory and it should be working finely...…

(If this still working, You know what you should do, Last tested was 29-Oct/24)
We had 5-6 and nobody fed them and they never starved to dead.
You mostly find them in caves, near mountains and also near swamp regions. They can’t really run away from you but taking them isn’t that easy either and might take a little more resources than you think at first but if you are far and rather prepared in the game this…
You mostly find them in caves, near mountains and also near swamp regions. They can’t really run away from you but taking them isn’t that easy either and might take a little more resources than you think at first but if you are far and rather prepared in the game this should be no problem. If you take them and put them on „wandering“ they will „snail“ around and slowly produce up to 100 Achatina Paste and 3-5 Organic Polymer if you leave them alone for a while. A simple short exploration is enough for these bad boys to generate a lot of Paste.
Very good for getting cementing paste.
You don't need to tame it for it to produce Achatina paste. It will produce it in the wild on its own, so putting it in a pen close to water (wild Achatina needs to be close to water or it will die, as per the Ark wiki) will allow you to take advantage of this. Seeing as…
You don't need to tame it for it to produce Achatina paste. It will produce it in the wild on its own, so putting it in a pen close to water (wild Achatina needs to be close to water or it will die, as per the Ark wiki) will allow you to take advantage of this. Seeing as the paste is tough to see due to its size, it's recommended to build your pen on sand, or on any other terrain free from clutter.
Note that this has been only tested out on single player.
just please don’t let them escape when they’re on wander, it’s bad
On mobile they drop angler gel upvoot
The time and cakes the calc told me I needed for a 250 was way off. Anyone else have this issue?
If anyone’s having trouble getting lots of cementing paste for crafting stuff, this is the tip for you! Since achatina paste is similar to cementing paste you can use it for crafting stuff that needs cementing paste.

If anyone’s having trouble getting lots of cementing paste for crafting stuff, this is the tip for you! Since achatina paste is similar to cementing paste you can use it for crafting stuff that needs cementing paste.
First, build a small building without a ceiling. Make sure there’s a door so you can get in and out and collect the paste. My building is 4x4 and made of thatch. It can probably fit 3-4 or more snails. Then grab a pteronodon or argy and fly to the swamp south of the redwood forest.
Go somewhat near the mountain with metal on it and you’ll find plently of snails there. Pick the snails up with your flying mount and drop them in your building. Then whenever you need cementing paste just go to your building and collect the achatina paste and get crafting!
Make sure you have a pteronodon or argy because you will need a flying mount to drop the snails in the building.
Can someone tell me if there’s a creature that collects its slime?
put 10 in a dino leash on small with a gacha and you got a paste farm.
Everywhere I go i see Dodo tales stories
They give angler gel when u kill them on mobile.
If you don't have the things to make sweet vegetable cake (like me) but you need it for cementing paste, just trap it and come back once in a while to collect it's poop
Idk why butvsometimes they drop angler gel and the creatures that got angler gel more consistently are my dire wolves
A small price to pay for salvation...
Because on mobile, the hive is easy to get, no need to tame anything. Just need a ton of sap, and chitin, and a smithy. Make a greenhouse after.
On wandering they also produce Organic polymer. Make sure to take it out when you need to use it because it spoils in minutes.

Found mostly in marshes and jungles, Achatina limusegnis is a very slow, very non-threatening land mollusk. It might be the simplest creature on The Island to hunt, and while it only provides a small amount of meat and chitin, an easy meal is always of value on The Island. Unlike nearly every other creature on The Island, Achatina does not defecate normally. Instead it secretes a thick, sticky substance. Achatina leaves trails of this slime, but the trails are so thin that they crumble to dust quickly. Part 2 coming soon!
